Copy contents of CD onto HD.. will it work??

[dt98smd]

ok.. here goes.

is it possible to copy the entire contents of a game from the cd to my HD then install from there and use the modified "No CD" exe to run the game??? could these files then be rar'd and burnt to disc (then just extracted and copied back onto HD if i needed to install again??

With respect to MOH:AA, if i used this method would i be able todirect the installation when prompted for the 2nd disc to a file on my HD? if so what file?

hope you can help and that i explained it ok!
